1. Prince Harry Reportedly Found Bonas to be Too Needy

A source close to the couple revealed to People that Prince Harry had some issues with Bonas.

He found her too needy and it just wasn’t working out.

Showbiz Spy had their own theories on the break up, with a “source” telling them:

Cressie is still young and have huge reservations about marrying into the royal family. They had a chat over the weekend and decided it’s best they cool things off. Harry’s hoping she’ll change her mind but for now, the romance is very much off.

2. Fans of the Prince Are Overjoyed

While, of course, many are saddened to hear that Prince Harry has broken up with his girlfriend, others are excited to hear that the prince is back on the market.

With the reality competition series I Wanna Marry Harry coming out this month, this split news should help in the publicity department. I Wanna Marry Harry is a show where women compete to win the heart of a man they believe is Prince Harry. However, the guy is just a Prince Harry look-a-like.

3. The Couple Had Always Tried to Keep Their Relationship as Private as Possible

Though it’s difficult to have privacy when you are a public figure, Prince Harry has always tried to keep his relationship with Bonas out of the spotlight as much as possible. People writes:

The couple were introduced by Princess Eugenie, a close friend of Bonas, who recently completed a postgraduate program in dance studies at London’s Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. But they had always tried to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

4. Harry Isn’t the Only One of Royal Blood

As previously reported by Heavy, Prince Harry wasn’t the only one in the relationship to be of royal descent.

Cressida Bonas’ family has some royal connections due to their Curzon banking fortune. Her mother, Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, is a banking heiress who was the daughter of 6th Earl Howe, godson of King Edward VII. Her half-sister, Isabella Anstruther Gough-Calthorpe, was once linked with Prince William at one time until she was engaged to Sam, the son of Virgin Atlantic founder Sir Richard Branson.

5. Engagement Rumors May Have Been the Downfall of the Relationship

In October, Heavy reported that People had heard rumors of a possible engagement brewing between Bonas and Prince Harry. This morning, when the break up news was said to be a rumor, E! News wrote:

The speculative split rumors claim Bonas was hesitant about marrying into the royal family and the couple eventually went their separate ways over the issue.
